Quotes 

• Abner Hale : I have been thinking lately, that our church is ready for a board of deacons. I'm willing to make you their head, Keoki. You would move among the Hawaiians, find out who is smoking, who has alcohol on his breath, who is sleeping with another man's wife - that sort of thing. Then each week, you will hand me a list, to be admonished from the pulpit.

  Keoki : I sought a way to serve my people... not to spy upon them.

  [turns and walks away] 

• Abner Hale : Your mother will not be pleased that you have refused the deaconship.

  Keoki : My mother is dying.

  Abner Hale : Your mother is not dying, Keoki. I just talked with her. There is nothing wrong with her.

  Keoki : She will die... and then will come the whistling wind.
